Who have we got on Saturday? 👀 FA Vase football brings unfamiliar opposition to the Easy As HGV Stadium this weekend, as we welcome Rusthall FC! Much like ourselves, Rusthall have a long non-league tradition, having been founded way back in 1899. Today they’re a thriving community club, run by volunteers, and we know only too well how much hard work that involves! Many of the more colourful stories from their past come from the club’s long history and rural Kent roots. So, ahead of Saturday’s game, here are four things you might not know about Rusthall FC… 🐴 1. AWAY DAYS, 1899 STYLE In the club’s early years, Rusthall players travelled to away matches by horse and cart. Football away days have certainly changed a bit in 125 years! 🏟️ 2. JOCKEY FARM Rusthall have called Jockey Farm home since the 1980s, when club volunteers transformed a field on an actual working farm into a football ground fit for senior football! Some effort! 👏 ⚽ 3. THE RUSTICS Founded in 1899, Rusthall are known as “The Rustics” and have been part of the Kent non-league football scene for well over a century. 🏆 4. CURRENT CUP HOLDERS And they're certainly not just about history! Rusthall are the current SCEFL Challenge Cup holders, lifting the trophy last season after an emphatic 4–0 win over Bearsted in the final – their first silverware in 17 years. We look forward to welcoming Rusthall FC, their players, officials and supporters to Fleet on Saturday. 🎟️ Buy Tickets online...Season Tickets are not valid for FA Vase fixtures tinyurl.com/4djm3k28 See you all on Saturday! 🔵⚪
